France, United Kingdom, Germany (E3)JCPOA snapback mechanismConfirmed
The United Kingdom, France and Germany (the E3) notified the UN Security Council of their assessment that Iran was in significant non-performance of its JCPOA commitments, triggering the 30-day 'snapback' process to reimpose all UN sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. The move followed the collapse of nuclear diplomacy after the June war and Iran's suspension of IAEA cooperation.
